Abstract:
In the paper, we present a novel tortoise-like flexible micro-robot with four legs which can crawl and swim underwater. These legs are actuated by ICPF (Ionic Conducting Polymer Film) which is a kind of smart film and has the characteristics of flexibility, good response and being driven by a low voltage. For improving the robot's reliability and feasibility, we establish the micro-robot's dynamic model by applying Pseudo-Rigid-Body-Dynamic-Model (PRBDM). The model is established by considering the dynamic effect of the robot, which is based on statics and kinematics. Then, the frequency analysis of a micro-robot based on PRBDM is investigated. Based on the PRBDM, the relation between the robot's structure parameters and its natural frequency is theoretically derived and a numerical computation of the robot is performed.
